EF v RBL game was January 25.
Schalke v RBL was Feb 22, just after RBL had beaten us 1-0 at home.
Yes, the EF game was the beginning of a "sticky" spell for RBL. They went on to draw 2-2 with BMG, lost 3-1 against EF in the Cup and drew 0-0 with Bayern.
He was playing LB, so I didn't focus on him at all. I was focusing on how RBL play out from the back, in particular. And the commentary was in German, so anything I learned was all my own work.
BC, I have just directly addressed your baseless attack on my person. Perhaps you should focus your reply on that. You just blatantly mischaracterized a situation, repeatedly, to make yourself a victim. I've responded and now you're attempting to change the subject again from the very direct point I have made. Again, I know why you'd like to change the subject matter just like I know why you'd like to change the history of your posts...but they're right here and bookmarked. Have you no shame?
In this instance they are. You are claiming that I was being condescending toward you and not in general or in defense of someone else, etc. You are claiming that you are the aggrieved party you disingenuous, precious flower. Now we are seeing why you can never see why you are wrong. Reason and logic are hard for you.
Take it elsewhere BC. You've embarrassed yourself enough for one day...well, two days.

I have just read back everything. Partly because of our recent exchanges, I think I misread your usual Todd playful condescension as something less playful, and overreacted.
I apologise, unreservedly. I guess once I'd miss-controlled the "condescension" ball, all I could do then was lunge studs up in an effort to recover it. So I apologise for that too.
I do however still stand by my belief that our attack suffers from bigger mental problems than physical ones, though, even last night, I did acknowledge they are intrinsically linked.
I do think, before it got silly, I did state my case and rebut (some at least) your arguments and give you examples (players showing good technique but doing stupid things continually) which supported this. If you ever want to continue this, I'm happy to, I think there's a good debate to be had there.
for what it's worth, my technique is fucking outstanding[spolier]
and to be fair to me
I didn't tell you to fuck off, I said if you were going to be condescending, you could fuck off, I made it optional[spolier]

Yes, I believe you did and it felt self-serving and a cheap deflection in the moment which I believe I pointed out but not in those precise words. But the difficulty I have is that it wasn't just an 'overreaction' BC. You took it way beyond that...or, at least you tried...and you kept going with all manner accusation, deflection, projection, etc. That's the part that sticks, unfortunately. That's the part that says something deeper.
That said, I accept your apology.
...and for the rest, you should have just cut it right there.

Hopefully the club will be thinking a bit more out of the box than just those players. I cant see them improving the squad dramatically. An upgrade on what we have for sure though.
Which is why I'd prefer for us to ditch the dead wood then buy plenty of good players rather than one or two great players. They will get injured anyway.
